What's at Stake: The House v. Burwell Case

Share

On May 12, 2016, a federal judge ruled that the Obama administration could no longer pay for the Affordable Care Act’s cost-sharing reductions for low- and moderate income families, because Congress had never expressly appropriated funds for that purpose. The ruling in House v. Burwell was stayed and therefore will not take effect immediately. While the case will be appealed, it could put coverage for millions of Americans in jeopardy.
